​

Kristen Graves is a singer/songwriter and humanitarian from Fairfield, Connecticut who was recently listed as part of the “new generation of folk music” in the New York Times and had a recent mention in Rolling Stone for her participation in the compilation album, 'Buy This Fracking Album', produced by Movement Music Records.

​

With catchy songs, a penchant for story telling, and inspiring lyrics, Kristen delights audiences across the country.

​

Constantly traveling and touring, Kristen plays nearly 200 shows per year having shared stages with Rusted Root, Dar Williams, David Amram, Noel (Paul) Stookey, Guy Davis, Peter Yarrow, Harry Belafonte and the late Pete Seeger.  

​

Kristen has six albums and two EPs to her credit. Her newest release, Now Ain’t the Time for Tears, is available on iTunes. 

 

In addition to her touring and recording schedule, Kristen makes sure that there is always time to be part of the humanitarian organizations whose work she admires and is inspired by. Spending months living and working with Simply Smiles in Mexico and on the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation in South Dakota creates the signature chemistry of Kristen’s performances: a stirring combination of music and justice.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

- Scot Haney, Host of Better Connecticut

​

“There’s a reason that Pete Seeger admired Kristen’s spirit as well as her gifts: she is an artist who transcends categories and whose music is for everybody.”  - David Amram
